    Global economic effects of a non-Dengist China

    Today's PRC is capitalist, despite a certain level of state interventionism. It is a key player in global economics, and a driver of the current hyper-production model. What would the global economy be like if say, Hua Guofeng did not get ousted by Deng Xiaoping? China remains a bland Communist...

    AHC: significantly reduce rivalry between IJA and IJN

    In threads discussing Imperial Japan's WW2 performance, the infamous level of enmity between its army and navy is often mentioned. The two had separate aircraft designs, and even separate atomic bomb programmes. What PoD-s could help in reducing this rivalry to a manageable level, improving the...

    AHC: best possible interethnic relations in the USSR

    Most threads that focus on improving the longevity of the Soviet Union, do so from an economic perspective. How can the various ethnicities within be made happy enough to be content to stay in, with the least possible state brutality? Economics should stay close to OTL.

    WI: Yamamoto himself leads the Kido Butai in PH attack- better, worse or same outcome?

    Might be a trivial POD, but what if, instead of the surface expert Nagumo, Yamamoto himself lead the massed carrier strike on Oahu? Would there be any changes to how effective the overall strike is? Another question: would deploying midget submarines to hit after the attack have produced better...

    Maximum possible number of Uralic family language speakers?

    Before the rise of Russia, Uralic languages were strong in the farther reastern and northern reaches of Europe, as well as Siberia. The spreading of Russia towards the east caused these languages to lose speakers over time. Even though they exist, Slavic languages overshadow them by far. Are...

    Best possible performance of Finland in the Continuation War?

    How well could Finland realistically perform in the war for liberation of areas lost in the Winter War, from a tactical and strategic point? Were there any missed opportunities or mistakes that were avoidable? Ultimate question: could Finland establish a defense along the Three Isthmuses?

    AHC: Otto W. Kuusinen becomes the leader of USSR

    This man was a bit unique in the fact that he was not native to the Soviet Union, but in his life, held a position in the Politburo, and in the CPSU Secretariat. Is there a way to have him ascend to the highest position- First Secretary?

    Are there any known examples of countries researching and developing non-lethal bio/chem weapons which cause (permanent) cognitive deficiencies in the target?

    AHC: get Japan to adopt Switzerland-style neutrality

    Article 9 prohibits Japan to have a military, but lax interpretations have led to the country participating in the military actions spearheaded by others. How could Japan get into a reverse situation: a legally existing defensive military that never participates in international missions and/or...

    Best possible outcome for Tecumseh's Confederacy?

    The Youtube channel Kings and Generals is doing a fascinating series on this Native leader, who has managed to unite many tribes into a traditionalist alliance. Are there any clear PoD's that allow for this to ultimately result in Native independence, or at least a Native state within USA?

    AHC: Get Confucianism, Buddhism etc. influential in Europe

    How could East Asian philosophical and religious teachings gain a large number of followers in Europe, and influence the society and politics? Large enough= tens of millions of followers.

    USSR leader of far Northern indigenous origins?

    Is there a possibility to have a person from the northern regions of Soviet Union lead that country, and were there any prominent politicians of strong Komi, Nenets, Yakut, Chukchi, etc. background? I am looking into the viability of Soviet Union becoming a better place for smaller ethnicities...

    WI:North Korea invades during the Gwangju uprising?

    Motivated by watching the movie A Taxi Driver during my Korean class, I began to wonder: what happens amongst the South Koreans if the brutal army response against civilians during the wave of democratic protests (Gwangju was biggest) in 1980 goads the NK to try and liberate the peninsula?

    AHC/WI: Japan reenters self-isolation after WW2

    How could the shock of losing WW2 lead to a shift in Japanese politics towards the kind of isolationism that was present before the 19. century(sakoku), and how isolated from global trade could this Japan be?

    AHC: European countries with significant East-Asian population

    How can European countries be made to go down the path of South-American countries (Brazil, Paraguay, Peru...) and encourage Japanese/Korean/Chinese immigration, most commonly with the motive of helping local economies with an influx of hard-working people?

    USN doctrine and action if carriers are lost instead of battleships in the PH raid?

    The historic strike on Pearl Harbor left the USN relying on carriers to a great degree in the Pacific War, but what would the doctrine and plans look like in that war, if somehow the Japanese strike happened upon the majority of their carriers? Leaving the battleship number more or less intact...

    AHC: get the Netherlands militarily involved in the Ukrainian crisis

    Inspired by watching the Mayday episode about the MH 17 shootdown over Eastern Ukraine, I got an idea: is it possible to get the Dutch public and government pissed off early enough and to a large enough degree, so that they deploy their troops in Eastern Ukraine and partixipate in the conflict?

    AHC: Keep traditional faiths stronger in Korea

    How could the spread of Christianity in Korea be minimized, to the extent that Korean Shamanism, Confucianist religions or even Buddhism dominate the religious landscape of Korea, into the present day?

    DBWI: Udet has a role in the Luftwaffe

    This decorated WW1 pilot ace had sympathies for the Nazi cause, and there are allegations that Hermann Göring wanted him to be a part of the Luftwaffe structure. However, due to Udet's mental issues and addictions, he never got appointed. In the end, he apparently committed suicide in 1937...
